Well, I do know how to use pydoc, believe me, and what I was asking
was a simple sample how to load libalpm and make a simple query.
Anyway at first I tried to test your pycman and It gave me back this error:

================= error =================
pycman -Q flashplugin

PS: I installed pyalpm from AUR with no hacks at all
